Buying a Non-Foundation Cybertruck & Comparison ... What is different, FSD Transfer &, any Regrets?

[@samirshah5411]

Great comparison video. I just finally went through with my reservation from July 2020 and ordered a non foundation cyber beast. I also just hit 100,000 miles in our long range model Y I got in June 2021, that car has been so reliable and solid.

[@Tim_Kent]

FSD should be licensed to the customer who pays for it, and stored in the driver profile. That way, FSD would be enabled whichever Tesla you drive, including a rental car. ☮️

[@gregmcfarland5189]

I think they should sell that as a different package for a higher price. Life chauffeur $25000 any Tesla you drive activates FSD.

[@MichaelHallerandAssociates]

Good ideas!

[@tumbleweed1976]

Yes. Or perhaps 5 year window? I’m concerned if the vehicle was totaled.

[@ShotgunAFlyboy]

This exact problem makes the subscription a way better deal than buying it outright.

[@gasser5001]

In the long run, I'm sure the 'purchase FSD for X amount' will go away and only have a sub.

[@WideWorldofTrains]

In regards to the gold colored casting in the front wheelwell, I got my cyber truck foundation series truck on August 30th and it still has the gold color casting

[@michaelcasino8517]

So happy we can transfer our fsd to the cybertrucks

[@mikesunderland9145]

You will probably have to play hardball with Tesla to get that to work.

[@timlamacchia7070]

When i go to my cybertruck reservation and attempt to initiate a purchase of a cybertruck, there is no option to transfer my FSD. I'm still holding out for the reinstatement of the $7,500 tax credit.

Hello Joe, once again and great and informative video. I am also an early reservation CT guy, but being Canadian, only the Foundation Series are being offered now. I prefer the larger wheels, but I am not sure which interior color I will eventually choose. I have never actually seen a Cybertruck in person, but next month I will be traveling down into California and I intend to educate myself so that I will know exactly what I want. Thank you so much for this video, as it was great to hear from a non-foundation series buyer. Thanks again, your videos are a great help. I recently bought a DJI Air 3 as I know you do as well. Thank You!!

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Thanks Richard and aim glad you found this helpful as you think about how you will configure your Cybertruck! Good luck on your trip and getting everything arranged! 😎📐

[@tcellucci9999]

Excellent video, keep up the great work. For us CT owners up here in upstate New York, where there are few CTs driving around, I have to schedule at least an extra half an hour for any local trips around here to answer all of the questions I get about "what the heaven are you driving". So I decided to list them on a card that I give out if I'm in a hurry, here it is: Cybertruck 30 minute dissertation short form; My 7th and last truck (previous daily drivers, all 4x4 Toyotas starting with the 1979 SR5, last Tundra, a 2014 had 220,000 miles on it), love this beast, is the future, all electric, lightning quick (0-60 2.6 sec), steer by wire progressive steering (full left to right lock 340°), 4 wheel steering (really tight turns), air suspension (17" high setting clearance), regenerative breaking (rarely use breaks), 48 volt low voltage (really small wiring harnesses), Etherloop communication, heavy duty stainless steel body, almost NO maintenance (Tires, wiper blades & fluid is about it), over the air updates, and most importantly gas pickup $60 to drive 250 miles, Cybertruck $15-$19 electricity (400 wH/mile x 250 miles at $.15-$.19/kWh) to drive 250 miles, and Tesla is 10-15 years ahead of everyone else.

[@ParthPatel-lc7eq]

Great video. You should post more videos on the non foundation truck.

[@olebloom1641]

Glad to see the comparison. Still deciding on my reservation. Really need the almost 500 miles of range since I tow a lot and sometimes over 200 miles. Unfortuantly may need to go with the Silverado. Usually where I tow from there are no super chargers.

[@sageakporherhe783]

Glad he stood his ground on the FSD transfer.

[@abblepc]

Hey Joe, forgot the dash difference with the Foundation series Cyberbeast or Tri Motor is also the alcantara dash and the 3 headed Cerberus laser etched logo on the tailgate lower right corner and the not easily spotted 3 motor variant.

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

This was comparing two AWD Cybertrucks do I did not include the Cyberbeast differences

[@TheReal_JG]

This is a cool comparison between the trims! Personally, I like the look of the grey interior over the white, which is ironic because I LOVE the white interior in the new Model 3 (paired with the red exterior paint).

Very good information thank you! I ordered a non-F cyber truck about 2 weeks ago. I'll trade in my model Y with FSD. When I ordered the Cyber truck I was told that I couldn't transfer the mod Y FSD and would have to pay another $8,000 for the Cyber truck. Me not happy! Since I already paid $6,000 for the model 3 that I first bought, and another $9,000 for the model Y, I had $15,000 into it! Certainly didn't want to pay another $8K. I was pretty much considering that I would cancel the order. Now I see I don't have to. Still don't have a VIN number. And I haven't taken a drive yet. But I have one scheduled for next week! If I really like it I'll go ahead with the purchase. Fingers crossed

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Glad this info and the FSD transfer helps and good luck with the purchase! 📐👍

[@GarretL757]

Congrats Dan, I’m so boat, hour 1 reservation holder, waiting for the credit if it ever comes!!

[@seant1325]

It's a missed opportunity that Tesla did not add a second screen like the model S & X for all Foundation series and then continued it only with the Cyber Beast.

[@OWill40]

Very cool! Always wondered which was a better option.

[@sirluke7980]

Joe, retired military here...thanks brother. Question: You said the tires are larger on foundation series, but I think they are the same size (285 w/20in rims)? Also, can you do a deep dive into the cyber battery and if it will qualify for irs rebate? Thanks!

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

They are … I misspoke and added text onto the video saying so and I meant to say style

[@g600f700]

My daily commute is 15miles, FSD is not needed and the rest accessories is about $300-500 except the tires. $19500 difference between the two versions. No brainer.

+$30k. Did you get a 60%,raise since 2019? Neither did I.

[@mikesunderland9145]

Hasn't everything else you buy gone up a significant amount? I think you should consider inflation in your calculus.

[@dvader3263]

@@Derpy1969The $7,500 tax credit was also disappearing during 2019 when Cybertruck orders were first occurring. With a newly lowered price of $79,990, it might soon qualify for a $7,500 tax credit in 2025. So, the cost might be $72,490 in the next few months.

[@optimagroup11]

Hey Joe, Very informative. How about a Cyberbeast vs. your Foundation Series truck? SoCalFreddy

[@petro-drlg-eng]

Also Tesla has had time to shake out the 1st edition bugs and design proof the trucks, hence ones coming out now should not have as many issues, with wiper motors, accelerator pedals, motor recalls, etc. Have an order for a dual-motor one, but can't yet justify the price since I don't commute to work, have a ranch or farm, etc. So... still dreaming of getting one.

[@Eric-xp1kl]

I'm wondering if the build quality has improved over time. Tesla normally continuously improves, so maybe the Non-F is put together somewhat better?

I'm frustrated with Tesla! I ordered my CyberTruck in June 2020 and was offered the Foundation series, turned it down. I wanted more details about the All wheel drive CyberTruck offered to early reservation holders but You cannot talk to a sales advisor, they DO NOT return voice messages. Everything is pushed to the website... it may be a sign to just let this go!!!!

[@ryankrause8068]

looks like the wheel covers on his don't overlap the tire. Looks kind of weird not overlapping the tire. Is the larger wheel covers only on the foundation series, or is it just not an option at all?

[@dangvo1649]

[@rollincampbell1]

[@KJSvitko]

Tesla should add the paint and interior options on the Model X for FREE if you buy FSD. This would increase FSD take rate and also increase sales of the Model X. Buy getting the paint and interior options for FREE it keeps the price eligible for the $7500 tax cut.

[@bimmergeezer]

Joe, when I asked you how your Cybertruck was doing I didn't expect you to do a complete video to answer me, but thanks.

[@michaelhess4825]

"walk away from a deal" isn't really the same thing as a normal car at a dealer. It's the right choice for many reasons, but it just doesn't carry any value against Tesla since you can't negotiate. What do the kids say these days? "That's not the flex you think it is." Not complaining or anything, just making a point.

[@JoeTegtmeyer]

Welcome

[@tweetybird7668]

Joe, do you realize the bath CT owners are taking on the foundation series by this $79k coming out. Then more depreciation comes to every one when the $7500 IRA tax incentive kicks in when Elon is finished giving away $1M a day and gets back to being a car salesman. My recommendation is to wait to purchase it for $72500. If people wait until mid ‘25 they might get it for $59,900 including FSD if the US regulators still allow it to be offered.

[@bpo6955]

Maybe. The Foundation series will retain a certain value just from its uniqueness

My suggestion is wait until 2042. Should be a great version of this coming out. I bought the foundation series and it worked for me! Wanted FSD and the bigger tires.

[@royh6526]

@@tweetybird7668 I agree, but be realistic and factor in the massive inflation since then, at least 30%. So $40k then is more than $52k now.

Did they mention. The 2500 credit voucher on foundation for options ?

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

Like he said, “It’s the principle”. Honestly, the most messed up Tesla Policy and makes me never want to buy FSD. Maybe, if it was true FSD and you got to have the car drive you without oversight. That would be value add. However, paying to be a Beta Tester and the full product was not released by the time I was selling my car… yeah, that should 💯 be transferable. This is a blind spot for Elon because he’s so rich. It’s not like buying a .99 app and not caring about the expense if the experience sucks. Every time he talks about it he laughs and acts like he’s doing a huge favor to allow it even a little bit. 10-13k is not nothing, only to someone like Elon…

[@chiboyife5456]

They put ugly wheel covers on the Non FS CT

[@KJSvitko]

Tesla should lower the price of the Model X enough so that you can select the color exterior and interior you want and not loose the $7500 tax credit. They should do a special "buy FSD and pick your colors for free". Tesla would increase sales, profits and FSD users. FSD income drops to the bottom line.
